Tickets are now on sale for Kent Critical Law Society\u2019s flagship conference themed this year on \u2018Law in Times of Crisis.\u2019<\/p>\n
More than 40 panelists will be contributing their expertise over two days, on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 March, including keynote speakers Dr Vicki Squire<\/a> (Reader in International Security at Warwick) and Dr David Blake<\/a> (Professor of Pension Economics at Cass Business School, City University London and Director of the Pensions Institute).<\/p>\n The student-led event is organised each year by committee members from Kent Critical Law Society (KCLS) and will be hosted in 2017 in\u00a0Woolf College<\/a> on Kent\u2019s Canterbury campus. As well as\u00a0providing\u00a0undergraduate and postgraduate students an opportunity to network with academics and practitioners from across the UK, this year’s conference\u00a0will\u00a0explore the broader context within which legal responses to an increasing array of social, economic, political and environmental challenges emerge. Presenters and attendees will also critically explore the wider impact of contemporary problems on states, communities and citizens.<\/p>\n Tickets for the conference are available to purchase online<\/a>. Early bird tickets, priced at \u00a35, cover attendance at both days (including lunch, snacks and drinks).<\/p>\n As a society, KCLS aims to interrogate the social, economic and political dimensions that shape legal doctrine and contemporary society. One of six student societies at Kent Law School, it provides a forum in which students, academics, practitioners and non-governmental organisations can come together to discuss and debate critical legal issues and research.<\/p>\n More information about KCLS is available on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
